We in Island Pond have become
just little infected with the spirit
of village Improvement, as witness
the removal of the fences around
dwelling houses, the neat and at
tractiye appearance of the premises,
the liberal use of paint in beautify-
ing and adjoining the greater part of
our homes, and the good roads both
in and out of the village. But their
is room for other improvements, and
although it is almost too late in the
season to attempt them now, we car
at least organize Village Improve
ment Association, and meet during
the winter to discuss and devils,
plans for carrying on the work whel
the proper time arrives to do it. w,
leave this matter for the consider
alton of our readers.

a pleasant persuasive pressure on
public opinion soon leads it in the
way it should go, and in a short
time the whole community become
interested, and help in the work, or,
at the least, passively acquiesce in
it, and are soon infected with the
spirit of it. OBSERVER.

much more out Of his land, and at
less expense, than used to be the
case. Mr.. Walker gives statistics
which go to show that of late years
the depopulatiOn of the rural por-
tions of New England has been
checked and that the farms are in
many places advancing in price.
All of this is very encouraging and
it will not be at all surprising if the
assertion that New England is a
good place to emigrate from, will
give place to the adage that New
England is a good place to remain
in and return to.

let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Colds, Coughs, Group, Asthma,

Two or three state papers are
earnestly discussing ways and means
to secure the immigration of farmers
to Vermont, and it is hoped that the
agitation of the question will result
in permanent good. 1t is a fact that
Vermont wants settlers. Hundreds
of farms are going to ruin because
there is no one to till them, farms
that can be proftably ,cultivated and
will afford good homes. Vermont
is an agricultural state if it is any
thing, and the desertion and neglect
of the farms is a sorrowful spectacle.
Something should be done to bring
about better condition of affairs

Only a Slight Difference.

The only Iii ference between the
Jesse James gang Of Missouri, and
the Clique houses" that are running
the coffee and wheat corners in Chi

James boys came out boldly and said
that they were robbers. In defiance
of the law they attacked express
trains and broke open banks: the
"cliuue houses under the badge OF
enterprising business men, 'manipu-
late the market" sneak behind the
law and rob everybody. The james
boys boarded an express train. ar

the others have terms of years to
serve the state in the penitentary.
while still others have only had fines

of respectable: families, the exposure
of the sav;ors of society rs public

$3.50, 900 public funds have been stolen

be hung. The fact is rich rob-

"Witness NV Hand and Seal"

In the early days only Il few schni-
ars and priests knew how to write. 1t
was then customary to sign IL docu-
ment by smearing the hand with ink
and iinpressing it upon the paper, ut
the same time saying Witness my
hand" Afterwards the seal was ill.,
trodnced as IA substitute for the hand
and was often placed beside the hand
mark. the two forming the signature.
This is the origin of the expression
used on modern documents.
